"In flaming
fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the
gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting
destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power."
—2nd Thessalonians 1:8,9
In a survey released by the Pew Forum on Religion
&
Public Life, just 59 percent of 35,000
respondents said they believe in a literal place called hell.[1]
What's even more alarming is that many pastors
no longer believe in eternal damnation in the Lake of Fire. The latest
strange doctrine creeping into our churches in that Hell is not forever.
Pastor Rob Dell founded the Marrs Hill Bible Church in 1999 (resigned in
2011) in Michigan. The church grew like gangbusters to over 10,000
attendance weekly because of Bell's apostate ecumenical message of love,
unity and sinful compromise; instead of Hell, fire and eternal damnation.
“At the center of the Christian tradition since
the first church has been the insistence that ... hell is not forever, and
love, in the end, wins," Bell wrote in “Love Wins: A Book About Heaven,
Hell, and the Fate of Every Person Who Has Ever Lived.” The book went
public in 2011 and immediately became a New York Times Bestseller book. The
reason why is because Satan promotes evil. The Communist publication, TIME
MAGAZINE has listed Rob Bell as one of the 100 top most influential people.
That's what makes Rob Bell even more dangerous—the establishment (Zionist
controlled media) is promoting everything he publishes. A genuine man of God
who tells the truth receives no endorsement from the liberal media. It's no
coincidence that Rob Bell is being promoted by the corrupt media, TIME and
numerous other apostate or wicked groups. Bell's going around the country
now, speaking at national religious conferences. What a sad joke!
Rob Bell has also authored the ridiculous book,
Sex God: Exploring the Endless Connections between Sexuality and
Spirituality (Zondervan, 2007). Why isn't anybody labeling him as a
pervert as so many critics have done to other pastors? It is blatantly clear
that legitimate pastors get crucified, but loyal puppets of the New World
Order do not.
Bell's father was an appointed judge during the
Reagan Presidency. Not surprisingly Rob Dell is originally from California,
a hotbed of demonic cults, false religion and spiritual decadence. Ray
Comfort, John MacArthur and the entire Hollywood religious film crowd are
the primary reason for the epidemic of Lordship Salvation heresy in
America's churches. Dozens of popular family religious films present a
perverted plan of salvation, including
The False Gospel of
“The Moment After.”
Robert Holmes "Rob"
Bell Jr. (born August 23, 1970 in Ingham County, Michigan) is an
American author and pastor. He is the founder of Mars Hill Bible Church
located in Grandville, Michigan and is also the featured speaker in a
series of spiritual short films called NOOMA. In 2011 Time magazine
named Bell one of the 100 most influential people in the world. He is
the author of the New York Times bestsellers Love Wins and
Velvet Elvis. Under his leadership Mars Hill Bible Church was one of
the fastest-growing churches in America.

FALSE PROPHET ALERT!!! Rob Bell says that Hell
is not forever, but the Bible (God's inspired Words) says Hell is forever
and ever and ever and ever, without end!!! ...
"In flaming
fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the
gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting
destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power."

Rob Bell is a fool to go against the plain
teachings of the Scriptures! Anyone can claim that 2+2=5, but that doesn't
make it so. In reality 2+2=4 and it always will. There's nothing that you
can do to change it! Truth is intolerant. Likewise, Hell is a literal place
that burns with literal fire, where all Christ-rejecter will spend eternity
being tormented and punished by God for their sins. That why people go to
Hell, that is, to pay for their sins because they rejected Christ's payment
for their sins.
If you admit that you are a guilty sinner in
God's eyes for breaking His Commandments, you can be saved by simply
receiving what Jesus did to redeem you. The Gospel (good news) is that
Christ DIED, was BURIED and RESURRECTED three days later. If you believe the
Gospel you are saved. It's that simple. If you receive Christ's payment for
your sins, then you are saved.
People get into trouble when they start ADDING
to the Gospel. For example: I read the
Creation Science Evangelism website this week by Kent Hovind and
was saddened when I read their false plan of salvation..
Rob Bell a “Gospel-lite” apostate preacher that
cherry-picks the Bible and misleads non-believers about love, judgment and
mercy. Jesus warned us about wolves who would come to us dressed in sheep's
clothing, false prophets, deceiving the simple and gullible. Beware of
people who want to tell stuff that you never heard before, never found
before, and nobody ever really knew before. They are not about to give you
the essentials that were once delivered to the saints. They are only going
to tell you something that they dreamt-up from who knows where. Beware also
of people who take obscure passages of scripture and remove them from their
context.

Only 17% of Americans think that being born-again
is required to get to Heaven.[2]
Amongst 18-29 year old Protestant
Evangelicals in the U.S., only 51% said they read the Bible even
once a week.[3]
RNS:
After controversy, Baptists affirm belief in 'eternal' hell
by Adelle

(RNS)
Southern Baptists on Wednesday (June 14) called hell an
"eternal, conscious punishment" for those who do not accept
Jesus, rebutting a controversial book from Michigan pastor Rob
Bell that questions traditional views of hell.
Citing
Bell's book "Love Wins," the resolution urges Southern Baptists
"to proclaim faithfully the depth and gravity of sin against a
holy God, the reality of hell, and the salvation of sinners by
God's grace alone, through faith alone, in Jesus Christ alone,
to the glory of God alone."
Several
leaders during the Baptists' two-day meeting in Phoenix coupled
warnings about hell with pleas for evangelism -- especially in
areas where there are no churches or missionaries.
"Is
hell real? Is hell forever? Did God really say sinners would
perish in eternal torment forever and ever?" asked pastor and
author David Platt of Birmingham, Ala. "Oh, readers of Rob Bell
and others like him, listen very carefully be very cautious,
when anyone says, `Did God really say this?"'
Bell's
book, released in March, criticizes the "misguided" view that
"select Christians" will live forever in heaven while the rest
of humanity will suffer eternal torment in a punishing hell.
Earlier
this year, the Southern Baptist-affiliated Lifeway Christian
Stores quietly removed warning labels from certain books --
including Bell's -- that "could be considered inconsistent with
historical evangelical theology."
"At the
center of the Christian tradition since the first church has
been the insistence that ... hell is not forever, and love, in
the end, wins," Bell wrote in "Love Wins: A Book About Heaven,
Hell, and the Fate of Every Person Who Has Ever Lived."
Southern Baptist Convention President Bryant Wright prayed that
Southern Baptists would take to heart the statement they passed
on hell.
"Father, because the reality of hell is so real, the permanent
separation from you is so real, and our hours here on this earth
are so limited, we pray that you will give us a fresh sense of
conviction of preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ," he prayed
right after the resolution was adopted.

hell
The Bible, God's holy Word, teaches that there is a literal place called
Hell, which burns with fire and brimstone (sulfur). Most theologians agree
that Hell is located somewhere in the heart of the earth, evidenced by
numerous Biblical references; such as:
Psalms:55:15 — “...and let them go
down quick into hell...”
Ezekiel 31:17 — “They also went down into hell...”
Amos 9:2 — “Though they dig into hell...”
Psalm 11:6 — “Upon the wicked he
shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this
shall be the portion of their cup.”
Then Herod
had John beheaded. Herod's sister-in-law had John martyred for preaching
against her adultery with Herod. What do you think God is going to do to
Herod's brother's wife in Hell? The Bible teaches that God will put the most
wicked people into the hottest parts of Hell...
Deuteronomy 32:15 and 22, “But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art
waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he
forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his
salvation. ... For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto
the lowest hell, and
shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the
foundations of the mountains.”
Notice the words, “and shall burn unto the
lowest hell.” We are all blessed of God, saved and unsaved alike. Luke
6:35 says that God is good to the unthankful and the evil. But God's mercy
will end the very moment that a sinner dies in their sins without Jesus
Christ.
So many people today have been misled by false
prophets to believe that a God of love would never send anyone to a place of
eternal punishment and torment. Yet we see suffering all around the world,
horrible suffering, and no relief for millions of people. Sin is the
culprit. Jesus plainly stated that, “...the Scripture cannot be broken”
(John 10:35). If you believe in God, then you should definitely believe in
the Bible, His Word, and take heed to the teachings therein. It is tragic
that so many people who profess to believe in God and the Bible, outright
reject the plain Scriptural teachings of judgment, damnation and eternal
punishment . . . “And whosoever was not found written in the book of
life was cast into the lake of fire.” Are you really willing to take
a chance that God didn't mean what He said?
Here is an excellent quote from the mighty man
of God, Dr. Lee Roberson, concerning eternal punishment . . .
“Somebody says,
'The thought of Hell is so horrible.' Well, my friend, so is cancer, so
is tuberculosis, so is the grave. Someone said, 'I believe sin ought to
be punished, but not for eternity.' That's your view, not God's.
Again another
says, 'I don't believe in the wrath of God.' Then you don't believe your
Bible. The Bible says the wrath of God abideth on the one who doesn't
believe in Jesus Christ. He is lost forever.
Now, these
things come to us out of the Word of God. The teaching of eternal
punishment should give us a hatred for sin. We ought to hate sin. The
reason we have changed so much in this day in all of our churches is
that we are not hearing much on this subject. Therefore, we endorse sin.
We engage in sin. We camouflage the sin in our lives and allow things to
go by, instead of hating sin as God wants us to hate sin . . .
The teaching of
eternal punishment should give us a passion for the souls of men.”

I recently visited a Baptist church. I was
saddened by what I saw. They used the
New
International Version [NIV] of the Bible, which is a perverted
version. To no surprise, the church had adopted a Lordship Salvation stance
on the Gospel, as do nearly ALL NIV churches. The pastor's sermon was weak,
lacking substance and it was obvious he didn't want to offend any Catholics
in his service. His sermon was about the Gospel, i.e., the death, burial and
resurrection of Jesus. The church is located in a highly Catholic area. The
problem with the pastor's message is that every Catholic believes that Jesus
died, was buried and rose again. Yet, they're all going to Hell because
they've ADDED good works, keeping the Sacraments, praying the Rosary, water
baptism and church membership to their faith. It's high time for America's
preachers to start exposing Catholicism for what is truly is—a prisonhouse
of false religion!
All across the world, churches no longer warn
lost sinners about the coming divine judgment against sin—of the eternal
damnation promised to those who die in their sins without Christ (Romans
1:32; Revelation 21:8). Eternal damnation is a very unpopular teaching in
today's apostate, intolerant and politically correct society. God makes no
apologies for His Word and neither should we. The Bible wasn't written to
cater to the political agendas of our day. Homosexuality is just as much a
sin today as it was 4,000 years ago. Abortion is just as much a sin today as
it was 4,000 years ago. Witchcraft is as much a sin today as it was 4,000
years ago. God hasn't changed. The Bible hasn't changed. It is sinful men
who have changed for the worse.
The Biblical doctrine of eternal punishment may
not be very popular today, but it is God's Word nonetheless. Those who obey
the Gospel will be safe, just as Noah moved with fear in building the ark .
. . “By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet,
moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the
which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is
by faith.” Oh, listen my friend, the thought of eternal punishment in
the Lake of Fire should scare you deeply. You have every reason to be
afraid, greatly afraid. It is a horrifying thought. Think about it for a
moment . . . burning in the fires of Hell, separated from Jesus and all your
family, being lonely and disappointed for all eternity, knowing that you
could have went to Heaven FOR FREE if you'd only trusted upon Jesus Christ
and the blood that He sacrificed for your sins . . . “Forasmuch as ye
know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold,
from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But
with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without
spot.”
You Need
HIS
RIGHTEOUSNESS. I beg you, don't wait another minute. Cry out to God now
whoever you may be. Acknowledge your guilt of sin. Own up to God that you
are a horrible sinner, guilty, and without excuse. Turn to the Lord by faith
and trust upon Him in your heart to forgive your sins, place all your
confidence in Christ because of His work of redemption, and allow the blood
of Jesus to cleanse away your sins, “. . . and the blood of Jesus
Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” Amen!
“To whom God would
make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the
Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach,
warning every man...” —Colossians
